We are looking to hire a person who will not only organize our children's ministry but also make good connections with parents as well as the children. We have a strong emphasis on outreach to youth and children and desire to continue to see our community come to know Christ and grow in relationship with Him no matter what age. Our Motto is "Loving people into a right relationship with God" and we believe as we show Christ's love it draws people closer to Him. We have a history of a strong children's ministry and want that to continue. We currently have an after school mid-week time for children where they are tutored, fed, and given a bible lesson. Our attendance ranges from 50-75 kids during the school year. We have ran an Upward Basketball program for the last 8 years and continue to have amazing opportunities to reach into the community through this ministry with roughly 150 kids registering each season. I hate to throw out numbers but I want to give a feel for what kind of skill set we are looking for. As group size grows the challenge becomes how to balance organization with connecting to the kids. We are looking for somebody who will lead our team of servants in Sunday School, the midweek event as well as be involved in the Upward planning and VBS like activities. I am looking to continue to build our team if that sounds like a place you would be interested in send me your resume.

We are in a very small town about an hour away from major stores, restaurants and amenities. What we lack in those things we make up for in beauty and the great outdoors. St. Maries is on the St. Joe river, known as one of the best places to fly fish. The hunting fishing and camping are in our back yard. It is a wonderful area, a fantastic community and a loving church.
